And at the end of the day, you have Kumho tires on your car. I hope you don't expect to take full advantage of those BAER brakes with those junk tires. First hand experience with slightly rear ending a car because these tires just wouldn't let me stop.

Fixed. 
My friend crashed his Prelude into a telephone pole in the rain taking a turn at 15 mph because the 711's decided to go skiing. I had 712's on my car when I bought it, and they were awesome in dry conditions but rain was beyond crap.

The 711 is not the 712 you twit!!!!!!!!
Anywho they are noisy but that's a cheap price. Of course they're not going to be the best in the wet. They are a summer tire. You're going to have to drive at a resonable speed. I won't be getting them again if it matters. I'm thinking of getting the GY's actually. This is a good deal.

Some of are modding 2 cars and own a house so you can F off. It's daily driver and could care less about high dollar tires. Most likely getting these GY's if you would have read the entire post thouroughly. I don't dig on your choice of black wheels on a car so don't dig on my tire choice. I'm offering my advice on a good bang for the buck tire.
